Title: box movement jock strap etc
Post by: The Palmist on July 13, 2014, 07:01:17 AM: Now then chaps

I have been increasingly annoyed by the movement of my box and have to constantly adjust it. I have never used a jock strap but I have tried batting shorts from various brands. Aero ones are nice but the pouch is too loose to offer full protection and I feel that some bit is not covered.

Any recommendations will be much appreciated.

The best fit I have found is to wear a tight brief but it is not ideal on a sweaty afternoon.

Forget the pad shorts, rubbish invention. :D

If you want to wear regular type underwear try the Gray Nic cricket briefs or Gray Nic boxer shorts. Both have pouches which hold the box securely.
If you want compression style pants with a pouch try Underarmour compression wear. They do both full length and half length compression pants with built in pouch and work very well.

Something like this:

the boxers pants combo sounds really uncomfortable to me!

Post by: wayward_hayward on July 13, 2014, 07:56:03 PM: I have issues with my 010 shorts. My box never sits in a comfortable position.

Anyone recommend a box to that fits well?

Post by: El Nino on July 14, 2014, 07:23:24 AM: Box underneath skins on top of briefs, so in between two layers.

Never have any movement.

Post by: The Palmist on July 16, 2014, 12:28:02 PM: had a net with my new aero briefs and no movement at all

will use compression trunks underneath to prevent chaffing
